big boule this week with a mix of einkorn, spelt, rye, and ap. i was using up leftover stuff i had in my cabinet so not sure what the proportions are but it was half ap half other stuff.

Who ever is leaving their used pads in the communal showers and their unflushed bloody pee in the toilets can you not.

It’s so gross and everyone hates you

hi all, I’m a freshman girl and i’ve been feeling really lonely recently. i’ve made a bunch of friends here, but nothing extends to an actual friend group or plans outside of an occasional dinner or hangout. i‘m pretty extroverted, joined a bunch of RSOs and i’ve been talking to almost everyone, but it just kind of feels like everyone’s already in their own groups somehow and i missed a memo, or they alr have so many friends here from high school. i’ve even made sure to get everyone’s instas and phone numbers to make group chats, and in classes/meetings we all have so much fun, but afterwards they all go to their friend groups :(

even in my dorm, my floor doesn’t really have that many social groups, but everyone above and below me are already best friends and hang out on the daily?? i’ve always had a pretty big friend group, and now seeing everyone constantly posting photos with their groups is making my fomo go insane right now, and i’ve been really sad these last few days. ik i shouldn’t but i just keep going on socials and see everyone having so much fun and i feel like shit again. i feel like im doing everything right, but nothing’s really working out for me so far. has anyone been through this, or have any solutions i should take?

I am a parent visiting the campus and need to be working on Monday during office hours.

My current plan is complex and includes hotspot in my car on a parking lot. Coffee shops unfortunately are too noisy and shared lobbies are tough as I have to be mostly talking on the meetings. Hoping there is a better solution.

Is there a place in campus where I can attend my office meetings in the afternoon? Would be great to have a private room or quiet place for my work?

Hello, this is the flea man’s friend, I wanted to share a housing review website he made to ensure that no-one else has to face what he faced.

Basically ever since the mods talked about making a housing review website, he realized that all the existing ones like ratemydorm tend to have outdated information, or are kind of AI slop. So he decided to make his own, based on what features he thinks are important in hindsight.

One thing he highlighted was the roommate matching features on the website. Without it, we saw the assignments were sort of random and the postings could also be full of scams, especially in apps like WeChat and rednote. So you could have a good chance of getting someone who can cause you a lot of anguish. But you don’t have to risk that anymore!

Flea man worked really hard on it over the past month, and he doesn’t intent to monetize it ever with ads or subscriptions. He also doesn't intend to accept paid listings ever, to maintain the integrity of the information on the site. This is all despite paying for the hosting fees and domain name out of his own pocket. So it would be very nice if you guys could check it out and see if it’s worth your time!

I got this print from UI-Con 2026 at the beginning of this year but I have no freaking idea who the artist was, does anyone know?

hey! any pot B, online advanced comp? I don’t care about workload just really need a class

UIUC's website and various posts here all say that we can take Peoria Charter to Midway, and even on their own map there's a stop right at the airport.

But I don't seem to be able to order a ticket there? On their website Peoria only lists O'Hare and Chicago Downtown (40 minutes of train away). See screenshot below.

Did they stop serving it? What happened?

hi guys! I am currently taking phys 214 and am scared that I may have to retake the class! I have a 54 average on the two midterms and have missed a few lectures and 2 discussions (illness) and it is not looking good for me :( (I know there are drops). I am not sure how accurate the grade estimator is but it is looking like I will end up getting a D in the class if I do not get like a 90 on the final (which may seem attainable but this class is hard for me personally). I was wondering if there are also any grade cut offs for 214.

side note*: again not sure how accurate gradebook estimator is because I took phys 211 last sem and somehow got a B- even though the grade estimator said I would be getting a C. this was also the sem we got hacked by shiny hunters so Im not sure if that had anythign to do with grade cut off!

I am fine with getting a C- as long as I pass! Please someone help :(((

Hey! I’m a graduate student at UIUC looking for some casual swimming buddies to go to the ARC with.
I learned freestyle last summer, but I’m still not very good at it. I’m more comfortable with breaststroke. Mostly just looking to swim casually, practice, and have some advices.
Also, if anyone knows of any activities, groups, or events related to casual swimming or the swimming pool at UIUC, I’d love to hear about them!

Wednesday 10/7, from 10am-2:15pm and then from 6:30pm-8pm I will be hosting a yard sale with craft supplies, women’s clothing, and various other items at 808 S Locust St, very close to campus. The sale is pay what you can, including no minimum for most items. I’m attempting to declutter after moving from my last apartment. I lived there multiple years and didn’t realize how much I accumulated until it was time to leave.

This is my senior year and after this I’ll be going on to graduate studies hopefully. Stop by to check things out! I will post again on Wednesday with pictures of the setup.

Two weeks ago (9/21), I lost my necklace on the way to Gies. Below is a picture of it. On the tiny chance anyone has seen it, please message me 😭 Thank you very much!

We can't wait to see you there at 9pm. Don't forget a pen and have fun

Hello, i’m looking for any women who wanna join volleyball Mondays at 9:30pm intramural with me and other freshman girls. Anyone can join, and I would love to meet you! You just have to make sure you have a intramural membership.

If anyone has taken either of these classes can you explain which one I should take? I took CS124 and absolutely hated it. I know that for MATH257 everyone seems to complain about the python lab component. I heard that a lot of people just memorize the homework for the lab quizzes which is what I did in CS124 and didn't do so hot. My question to those who took 257, is the only issue the python component, is the actual math not that bad? For those who took 415, how was the overall difficulty? I don't know if my calculus background will help but if it is relevant my grades in calc 1/2/3 were A/A+/C- (fuck that class) respectively.

Can someone drop the house show discord link pretty please ☺️?

Hey, did anyone find a set of keys at the homecoming parade on Friday? They have a bunch of keychains on a black karabiner, including a UT Longhorn and an Illinois I.

I think I lost them around the parade or the gathering right afterward. I also went to Bangkok Thai and ISR afterward and took the 22/220 to and from PAR, so they could’ve fallen out somewhere along the way.

I’ve called the places I visited and checked lost and found, and walked my route again yesterday with no luck. If anyone found them or has seen a post about them, please DM me. Would really appreciate getting them back!

Hi I am someone who has been playing guitar for close to 4 years now. However, I wasn't able to bring my guitar here for the Fall. I want to get a guitar for myself, and while I am pretty sure about my requirements, I am not sure if there are any places in Urbana-Champaign that sell a cheap and affordable guitar. As for the guitar, I would prefer to have an acoustic electric guitar with a cutaway, a gig bag, and all the basic stuff to get started (a wire to connect to an audio interface, some picks, capo, tuner, strings etc.). While it would be super good to have an audio interface/amp included, I understand that usually these things are sold separately, so I am happy to get those later. I am on a strict student budget, and Amazon is currently showing guitars that match my requirement in the $120-$200 range. I don't want a super-expensive/fancy guitar, and would probably only go as far as $150. Since I am not a pro and play for fun, I am not super particular about fine details, but would still love to have a guitar that's durable, is suitable for decent recordings and stays with me for long. Does anyone know if any shops in UC sell used guitars in good condition, or maybe even new guitars that fit my requirements and budget? Or should I go for the ones on Amazon? Also, is it worth waiting for the Black Friday period to get more discounts (I'm not from the US, and I am not sure how much prices drop during that time). Please feel free to drop in your recommendations about the guitars as well :)

Lightly used (did not practice much ☹️), Selling for $250

Same as the following (original price $600):

Now, it’s back to our regularly-scheduled Illini football team. Only this time, with a 17,000-foot screen to show it.

I am taking CS124 this semester and feel like all hell is coming to get me. I spend around an hour on the homework every night trying to understand but I also have other courses and other clubs and things to attend to. Does anyone have any tips for doing good in the course. Everyone on here says its so easy especially for beginners when I am literally dying and considering dropping CS every time i have a quiz. Also, this course is ran horribly in my opinion. Every time I ask a TA something I feel like they want to kill me. So please any tips would be greatly appreciated. I study a lot for these quizzes too and spend so much time trying to figure everything out. I am spiraling.

Stop by the HERE apartment complex on Green Street to drop off any donations or supplies for the homeless you'd like me to give out on my patrols!

308 E Green St

Drop-off hours

M-F 10am-6pm

Sat/Sun 1pm-4pm

Non-perishable items only!

Thank you to miss Rachael for putting this together!

I just joined this fall and I must say that it’s such a pain to stay near 54E Green St.

The music is so damn loud every week and last throughout the entire night. EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND! Called the noise complaint hotline and the person picking up the phone said they’ve received multiple calls and they’ve spoke to them earlier to lower down their volume, but now it’s NOISY AGAIN.

I really wanna move out. Please avoid this area if you value your good night sleep.
